Runway to the Death Star – Luxury Meets the Dark Side

Runway to the Death Star — a Star Wars helmet reimagined through upcycled luxury design. This timelapse captures the final moments before shipment, highlighting the craftsmanship and care that go into protecting each one-of-a-kind piece. Built from reclaimed designer materials, this sculpture bridges high fashion and the dark side of the galaxy.

This piece blends the elite silhouette of Star Wars’ Imperial Guards with upcycled Gucci textiles and layered leathers—each element precision-cut, hand-formed, and stacked to create a flowing, runway-worthy profile with a commanding presence.
